Subject: Saving Elephants

I am the teacher of 5 and 6 year olds. We would like to help. We are doing "chores for change." Last year we raised $400. In the grand scheme, only a drop...however, we want to help.
One of my children asks: Why can't we remove their "tusk ability like we do with our dogs and cats?" Or, "Why can't we color them so people won't want them, like we do with baby seals?" How might we best help?

Subject: BOYCOTT

I think that the situation could be helped by starting a nationwide effort to boycott all Chinese products, Since the Chinese are the ultimate destination for the tusks. Something like:
"Save the elephants, buy American".
I think that most Americans would like to get away from the Chinese addiction but the usual benefits are so nebulous and the results are so small for any given purchase that its hard to see the end result. This is a very tangible goal and might just inspire the average person to act on it. So pass it on:

I have recently had the same conclusion about replacing the tusks. Why haven't the "powers that be" implemented this? It becomes apparent that corruption of African governments is the answer to that. They could research this, or commission some worthy NGO to do it. They have the power, but not the will.
Obviously you and I and other individuals by ourselves cannot do this. But it has been said that the pen is mightier than the sword. But is it more powerful than the lust for lucre in mans' hearts? How many people could converge on a "handful" of both NGO's and governments to get some real reform going? How can we (I have no experience at this at all) form a plan and implement it? I believe it can be done!
